Losing some hair every day is normal; most people shed dozens of hairs daily as part of the natural hair cycle. But when shedding increases or your hair looks thinner, it is worth finding out why.
Signs to get checked
- Sudden, heavy shedding that lasts more than a few weeks.
- A widening parting or visible scalp.
- Round bald patches.
- Itching, scaling or pain on the scalp.
- Hair loss along with weight change, irregular periods or tiredness.
Common causes
- Stress, illness or recent surgery.
- Low iron, vitamin D or other nutritional gaps.
- Thyroid problems and hormonal conditions such as PCOS.
- Genetic (pattern) hair loss.
- Scalp conditions such as dandruff or infections.
How we help
Treatment starts with finding the cause, sometimes with blood tests. Depending on the diagnosis, your plan may include medical treatment, PRP or GFC therapy, nutrition guidance or, for suitable candidates, hair transplant.
